Velocity Sailing

Our powerboat hookup fell through so I am relegated to running practice races from the LLSC flagpole.

It likes being sideways

Practice off to a cold start

Still on the fence about doing the Tybee 500 in 2010? Worried that you don’t have the time to book hotels, get meals lined up, don’t have ground crew?  We can help with all that.   Check out the logistics link at the top of the page or just click this link below:

For those who aren’t part of the distance catamaran scene – the logistical challenges presented for a team to complete the Tybee 500 are pretty daunting.  For sure it is much more complicated than hooking up the boat trailer to the family SUV and heading to a weekend regatta.  Multiply the logistical challenges for four separate boats and you have the making of a bona-fide snafu if not handled in a professional, business-like manner.

Fortunately, this isn’t our first rodeo – and we have people on the team who have been doing this now for five years.  I think that between all the team members on Velocity, we have over 30 years of distance racing management experience.  However, nothing can replace the surgical-precision-like management skills that Allison has been able to provide.  Continuing her stellar work from last years’ campaign, she already has the worker ants lined up and marching to the beat of the queen of the colony.  All thats left now is boat preparation.

And in that vein, this weekend Team Velocity is having a practice weekend on our local Lake Lanier to get the boats ready to rock.  After the boats are gone over with a fine-tooth comb, we will be doing beach drills and on the water training with coaching boat.

Altogether things are looking good for our campaign this year and plans have progressed at the pace that we are comfortable with.
